Title: Long bow
Post by: Newen on November 19, 2008, 01:20:28 pm

Hello everyone: We show that we are finalizing a bow is a long wooden bow Warbow lapacho backed down in guatambu still lack a little libraje because at the moment is too much for me
is 72 "long and so far has a nearly 63 pounds of libraje do not know if we are too weak but it is almost impossible to open and less trying to hit something so we decided to lower the libraje up about 50 pounds at most .
Libraje final 53 Lbs. this fact rests the arrows of bone-white hand-carved

Nice bow. You could shorten up your handle section and get a lot more working limb there. Something to think about on your next one.

Nice workmanship, I like seeing what people are working on in other parts of the world, and enjoy seeing bows made from different local materials. Like Ryan said, it could bend a bit more in the inner limbs. I like the contrast of the different woods.

I thank you wholeheartedly for allowing me to share with you my arches
In this photo you can not appreciate her opening total since the sack me my son before completing the total of its opening
is a shame because when the arch is fully in its maximum aperture is very nice to see
I thank again all the truth and every day I feel myself as part of my friends from afar

My most sincere affection thank you very much
